Always On - Auto Restart - Roku Smart Home Cameras

Jump to solution

I have a wall mounted TV with a Roku Stick connected, and the Roku Smart Home channel added. I would like the ability to have the camera app be the ONLY app on this particular Roku device - in other words, the TV is dedicated to surveillance monitoring. No one is ever going to watch Netflix, wallpaper and screensavers not needed. And if the power goes off or the Roku device restarts, that it automatically reopen the Smart Home channel. And even better, would be if it could display up to 4 live cams at the same time on the screen. If so, I could then eliminate my old tired worn out wired camera system with an actual hard disk inside and 20 miles or wires running through my attic and other places.

Pretty much none of that is possible.  If you want to have the Cameras channel/app be the only channel/app on your Roku device then you'll have to create a Roku account dedicated to that purpose and remove all other channels/apps, but there's no way to have it start up and automatically display a camera or display more than one camera at a time.
